The flutterings of his words while he held her brought a warmth to her chest. Something akin to drinking hot tea, but lasting longer. "Still-..." her words caught to the roof of her mouth while he started to move and speak once more. Only a second or two, but enough to hold her tongue. "Still, ceremony usually has reasons to why it exists. Perhaps not for the elegance of it, but a cultural aspect." She let him hold onto her words for a moment. He was not denying her request. Thought it was sensible at the very least. Yet she still felt very much a silly girl t be asking for a non-fictional book to read instead of something perhaps more entertaining. Like a fictional novel about a dragon or a fallen star.
True, those would be just as entertaining but would not help her in the future. Without any idea as to who she was or where she was from, how was she to live on this island without knowing about it? Each step from now on would have to be under the idea she would not be leaving anytime soon, if ever.
All an assumption, but a well assumed one none the less.
Once at the desk, he sat her on the edge. Sophiana adjusted the skirt of her gown and the shawl around her shoulders. It was not a bad place to be seated. Hard and cold, but it would be only for a little while. She nodded and remained silent while she accepted his apology. Her hand moving to his shoulder to reassure him she was not offended before he took to his chair. Slowly so as not to disturb him and carefully to avoid hurting herself, her body turned to make viewing his work easier for her.
Only, he did nothing and stood from his seat.
"Its-..." she looked into his face as he apologized once more then nodded in understanding. "I'll wait here. Arjun." His name was quiet upon her pale lips. A whisper that she would not try to move till he returned.
